A hardened pick. Worth the effort once you have chosen to shrink your footprint on purpose. Enough for most people. Threat levels
Our take
KelVPN is a small decentralized VPN with a token-and-staking model bolted on, and the missing iOS app tells you how young it still is. The node-reward economics raise the same question every crypto-incentivized network faces: are operators in it for privacy or for the payout. Skip it for now unless you specifically want to experiment with decentralized VPNs and you have no iPhone to worry about; a mature commercial VPN will serve most people far better.
